Let me say, right off the
bat, this is about several things that I think I understand...but that a lot of
Americans do not.We have a black
president, and that is a good thing because it does show that it can be done.On the other hand, the president is an
incompetent, lying, probably foreign-born, idiot.He has surrounded himself with people that
think like he does...and he does not like the United States.I believe that his Attorney General, Eric
Holder, has no idea of what he's supposed to be doing because he's doing the
opposite.He was held in contempt of
Congress and didn't lose 20 seconds sleep over it.Granted, the current president inherited a
couple of wars that may, or may not, have been warranted, I'll leave that to
history...but he has made it all worse, much worse.The general thinking in this administration
is that they can lie to the public, about everything, and the public will buy
it.Congress has become so wussified
that there aren't enough real patriots to make a difference, and that is
obvious, because of the mess we're in.Our Constitution was made inconsequential by Congress in their
willingness to allow the president to sidestep it.

Although I'm a Republican and a conservative, the
problems that this country faces are not the fault of either party
exclusively...and the problems are huge!As a nation, we are laughed at, scorned, dismissed as a paper
tiger...and it can't all be laid at the feet of this president, but he's a big
part of it.How far back do we have to
look to find our America?My guess is
that we have to go back to somewhere around 1945 or 1946 when we were the top
dog in the world and no one, but no one, would have dared to take us on!Back then we had patriots, thousands of
them, men and women that had fought for this country because it was the right
thing to do.The thinking then was that
if it was good enough to live here, it was good enough to fight for.Now?No, I think the armed forces have been selectively emasculated for what
purpose I don't know.When this country
goes to war, the armed forces don't wear a D or an R on their uniforms...they
wear the flag of their country...and they wear it proudly.The navy I served in was not as
technologically great as it is now...but at least the sailors could read,
write, and comprehend what they were doing.My friends who have not retired, have sent me stories of members of
their units going to remedial reading and writing classes!

Service doesn't just mean the armed forces.The so-called service industries, which used
to be called "the crafts", like plumbing, electricians, carpenters,
masons, and so on...are aging, and there's not enough young people going into
those occupations to keep up.That's one
reason why your service-related bills are going up and up.The upcoming generations have been lulled
into thinking that computers will do it all, and, although they will do a lot,
they will never do it all...when they break down, and they do, there will have
to be a human capable of fixing them.By
the way, try getting a robot or a computer to build shelving, or fix a
backed-up toilet.While we're here on
the subject of jobs...how many do you estimate the Keystone pipeline would
create?That pipeline should be built
for a couple really good reasons, not the least of which IS the jobs.

It's been estimated that,
between the Keystone, the activity in the Dakotas, and whatever we can conjure
up off shore, we could kick the Arab cartel right in the rear end.The deliberate delaying of the pipeline, and
that's what it is, baffles me, as to why the public doesn't wise up?Remember, Obama is for Obama, first, last and
always.

What is wrong with the American people today?There are domestic problems and international
problems, and we can do something about both...if we have the nerve and good
sense to do it.First, let's look at the
domestic problems which, in my opinion, have been caused by the current
administration.The tax system in this
country is SO screwed up that nobody, from the IRS Commissioner down, understands
it completely.It picks and chooses who,
or what, will be taxed and at what rate.The system has been manipulated so much that the loopholes it has in it
makes it look like Swiss cheese...but that only benefits those that can afford
to hire a tax expert.The so-called
middle class in this country, and I always thought we were a classless society,
takes it on the chin, over and over.

So, let's deal with that domestic problem, in a logical
manner, and that is to abolish the IRS.We now know that the IRS, again from the top down, is corrupt,
convoluted and crazy.Enact THE FAIR
TAX, which is a logical approach to taxing.You buy something at the retail level, you pay the tax.Period!The bill, as it was written originally, is 135 pages, all easily
understandable.When the IRS is gone,
you'll find that much of the money that was whisked out of this country to save
it FROM the IRS, will be returning.When
money comes back, so do jobs.We may
never regain the pinnacle of manufacturing that we once attained, but enacting
THE FAIR TAX will go a long way to achieving that.I believe that unemployment will go down, and
go down dramatically, once THE FAIR TAX is up and running.So, we've killed two birds with one stone, so
to speak.

My next domestic problem is the government itself.For reasons unknown to me at this time, we,
as a people, have allowed the government to overstep its bounds.Those bounds were put in place by the
founding fathers because they KNEW that government, if left unchecked, can
become dictatorial...and it

is approaching that
quickly.So, here's what we need to do
for that problem...first, we establish term limits for EVERY elected federal
employee, and include the Supreme Court in that.Congress was never meant to be a home for
politicians.Our brilliant founding
fathers meant for a person to be elected, serve his time and then GO HOME to
his work, or farm, or whatever.Career
politicians are a modern "invention" and they should be sent
packing.NO FEDERAL EMPLOYEE IN ANY
POSITION SHOULD BE ALLOWED

TO RETIRE FROM GOVERNMENT
SERVICE, with the one exception of members of the Armed Forces.

They would be the only
ones to be allowed to serve long enough to retire at 20 years, 30 if they are
mentally and physically capable.The
Armed Forces, because of what they do for this country, should be given the
best healthcare that is available.

Beginning at "time X", aspirants to public
office will understand that they get NO pension, NO special health care,
NOTHING that the public doesn't get as well.That, I believe, would winnow out those who want to do public service,
from those that are looking for a gravy train.The Constitution, along with other important documents, will be the law
of the land.No foreign laws will be
taken into consideration in any court in the land.Any further delay in stiffening the American
backbone is going to be disastrous…

Wake up America...as a nation we have to stand up, hitch
up our big-boy pants and tell the world that we are back!Of course, that's going to be difficult with
the sniveling, incompetent, buffoon we have leading this country...and where is
he leading us?Down the road to
oblivion, that's where, but of course, that's only my opinion and I have been
wrong.I think it was in 1941, when I
thought I was wrong, but I was wrong.As an American, and I like to think I'm a patriot, it sickens me to know
that one person could bring down a country, MY country, in such a short
time.If the president has the best
interests of this country at heart, he would do the honorable thing and resign,
and take Joe "Shotgun" Biden with him.There are any number of people, men, women,
white, black and of every political stripe, that could do a better job than what
the president is doing.

Let's have some plain talk when we talk about
people.Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and
Louis Farrakhan are, in my opinion, professional black victims and if they had
to actually do some sort of work, they wouldn't stand a chance in the working
world.The attorney general, Eric Holder
lied to Congress, and got away with it.Then Secretary of Defense Panetta lied to Congress when he said that
troops are never sent anywhere until the situation is known...that is just
plain BS.The re-election of the
president trumped any truth about Benghazi.The IRS is an outlaw agency, which answers to no one, apparently, and it
should be abolished.General Martin Dempsey
is more politician than general, and is a disgrace to the uniform he wears.The big man at the National Security Agency,
Mr. Clapper, is not just a liar, he's an idiot.The president talks about phoney this and phoney that...he is the
biggest phoney in the country!Political correctness is BS, and we need to understand that.

I will take every opportunity to tell people that I
retired from our Navy, because I'm proud of that service and, at the time, I
was proud of my country.Not as much any
more.This country used to manufacture
products that could proudly bear the words "Made In The USA", and
it's damned difficult to find many things like that anymore.Sure, we still make sox and underwear, but I
think 99% of the electronics in use in this country, including those used by
the government, are made in a foreign country!I even read something that the government was buying American flags from
China!Are we nuts altogether?Buying our country's flag from another
country?I drive a Ford truck because,
as far as I know, it's still made in this country, but I cannot say that for
the others of the former "big three".I went to buy a can of tomatoes the other day and looked to see if it
was a product of this country...and it wasn't, so I didn't buy it.

Now, lest you think this is a right-wing nutcase saying
this stuff...well, you may be right, but if it is going to take nutcases to get
this country back on track, then that's what I am.My political affiliation changed when the
president won the nomination back in 2008, but this is no longer a right or
left problem, this is a national problem, actually a national disgrace.This country, MY country, is being sold down
the river and the majority of the population either doesn't care or isn't smart
enough to care, and THAT is another disgrace, the apathy and ignorance of the
people.So, at the risk of repeating
myself, and perhaps insulting someone...wake up dummies, America needs you,
NOW!
